Fixed Asset Turnover: Definition, Formula & Ratio

Fixed assets turnover is a ratio that measures how efficiently a company uses its fixed assets to generate sales or revenue.

Why is fixed assets turnover important?

Fixed assets turnover indicates how efficiently a company uses its long-term assets to generate sales, helping to assess its operational effectiveness.

An easy way to understand fixed assets turnover is:

Think of it as a measure of how efficiently a company uses its long-term investments to generate sales, like comparing the sales generated to the value of the assets used.

Formula & Ratio of Fixed Asset Turnover

The fixed asset turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company uses its fixed assets to generate sales. The formula for calculating the fixed asset turnover ratio is:

Fixed Asset Turnover = Net Sales / Average Fixed Assets

Where:

Net Sales is the total revenue generated by the company during the period.

Average Fixed Assets is the average value of the company's fixed assets during the same period, calculated by adding the beginning and ending fixed asset balances and dividing by two.

A higher fixed asset turnover ratio indicates that a company is using its fixed assets more efficiently to generate sales, while a lower ratio suggests that the company may have underutilized or unproductive assets.
